| During June 1998, 14 high school students became the first official group of students to study at the Silver Saddle Ranch. They spent four days learning river ecology, the history and archaeology of the ranch, and observing wildlife in the area. The U.S. Forest Service, Carson District, has facilitated the High Sierra Resource Workshop in conjunction with the Western Nevada Resource Conservation District (a not-for-profit group) during the last five years. |
| In 1998 the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) joined the team in providing educational opportunities for students by developing a Supplemental Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S. Forest Service, Carson District. The focus of the High Sierra Resource Workshop is for students to learn about resource management, especially that of the Carson River. |
| The students came from various northern Nevada high schools, and spent their first four days at the Silver Saddle Ranch. Then the group headed up to the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness to camp five days in the wilderness and continue resource management investigations. Many guest speakers in professional fields of timber, mining, forestry, archaeology and wildlife assisted the students with their assignments |
